Establishment of the Guyver Armor Training Department

Chapter 68 Establishment of the Guyver Armor Training Department

Under the orders of the Third Hokage and with the support of Danzo, the Guyver Armor Training Department was swiftly established.

On that day, Shiki Aburame took office as the interim head of the training department.

Danzo sent Shimura Taro to assist him and seize profits.

Arriving at the training base designated by the Third Hokage, Shiichi looked at the empty ground and remarked with emotion:

"The Third Hokage is truly magnanimous; he approved such a large area so readily."

This is the heart of Konoha, a place where every inch of land is incredibly valuable, and arguably the safest place in Konoha.

A masked ninja approached Shiichi, removed the mask to reveal a young face.

"I am Sarutobi Tai, here to assist and oversee the development of the Guyver Armor. Please take care of me from now on."

Aburame Shiki looked at Sarutobi Tai's youthful face, sharp eyes, and formidable aura.

"The Hokage is willing to send such outstanding clansmen, which shows that he really values ​​the Guyver Armor."

So he said happily:

"It's so great to have your help, senior. I lack experience, so please forgive me if I make any mistakes."

Immediately afterwards, Zhiyi took out the blueprints of the cultivation department and handed them to Sarutobi Tai for his look. What was particularly striking was the five cultivation bases he had divided up.

"I plan to divide the cultivation into five cultivation bases, and the first cultivation base is my private testing ground."

Shiki said calmly, while observing Sarutobi Tai's reaction.

Sarutobi Tai remained expressionless, neither agreeing nor refusing.

The main point is selective deafness; whether or not they acknowledge this matter depends on whether the benefits are sufficient.

Zhiyi was not surprised and immediately made a promise.

"Shimura Taro will personally manage the No. 2 and No. 3 culture bases. Do you have any suggestions for the rest?"

Sarutobi Tai's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately replied, "I have some ninjas under my command, and they are all very reliable. I believe they won't disappoint the commander."

One minister indicated that Sarutobi Tai had accepted Shiichi's identity and also accepted the division of benefits.

Before he came, he had been instructed by his clan that the enhanced armor would only become more and more important in the future, and that he should try his best to gain benefits from it.

The two cultivation bases have already made significant concessions; the technology belongs to Yu Nuzhiyi, and the results are from the roots.

Sarutobi did nothing, yet he already took almost half of the profits.

This is the power of the Hokage; even without deliberately favoring his clan, the power revealed by his fingertips is enough to feed Sarutobi.

"Then I'll leave the No. 4 and No. 5 training bases to you. I believe that with our sincere cooperation, we can definitely make Konoha great again."

"Yes, let Konoha be great again."

Sarutobi Tai nodded, satisfied with the result.

Concessions and adjustments in management brought in powerful reinforcements.

With the support of Sarutobi and Shimura, the structure of the training department was completely set, making it difficult for others to get involved.

With the division of benefits complete, Shiichi, Sarutobi Tai, and Shimura Taro officially became the three members of the highest management team of the Training Department.

Shiichi is nominally the minister, but in reality he has the least power, only having access to Base No. 1, and both Sarutobi Tai and Shimura Taro can interfere.

Sarutobi Tai and Shimura Taro are deputy ministers, each managing two bases.

As the least experienced and least resourceful member of the trio, Zhiyi knew that if he did nothing, the word "temporary" might never be removed from his name.

It's even possible that the word "temporary" will be removed, and the minister will be gone too.

To prevent his precarious position from crumbling, Zhiyi firmly grasped his core competitive advantage—the research of the Bio-Armor.

As a researcher of bio-engineered armor, isn't it normal to want a private training base? Does the higher-ups think they're satisfied with ordinary bio-engineered armor and don't want to go any further?

This is Zhiyi's core competitiveness.

If we want the Bio-Armor to become stronger, Shiichi's opinion as the original researcher is still very important.

When necessary, Shiichi can release the concept of "Titan armor".

Of course, it's definitely not a "Titan armor" in the true sense. At present, Shiichi's technology is not up to the standard to build a "Titan armor".

If the upper echelons of Konoha can't understand, just say that "Giant Armor" is comparable to "Wooden Golem Technique".

That should be clear enough.

The Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura had truly witnessed the power of the God of Shinobi and had a clear understanding of the power of the Wood Release: Wood Release technique.

Now that I have the opportunity to obtain the power of the Wooden Man Technique, how could I not be tempted?

It's important to know that the Guyver Armor has no restrictions; basically any ninja can use it.

Who wouldn't want to pilot a Gundam?

As long as the promises are well-made, even Sarutobi and Danzo will not be tempted.

"Then let's start building the facilities. The Hokage and Danzo are in a hurry."

At Shiichi's command, the Root ninjas began construction according to the blueprints.

Various earth-style ninjutsu techniques were used to continuously alter the terrain, making the place conform to the requirements on Shiichi's blueprints.

When Sarutobi Tai saw this, he asked the Sarutobi clan members who had followed him for help.

After all, it can be said that Sarutobi contributed to the establishment of the Guyver Armor Training Department.

Looking at the bustling scene, Shiichi sighed, "The training department should be completed by tomorrow, and then we can officially train the bio-armor. I'll go back first. If you have any questions, you can discuss them with Shimura Taro-senpai."

Sarutobi Tai nodded slightly. The structure of the training department had been determined: he, representing the Hokage, and Shimura Taro, representing the Zang family.

Shiichi can be considered one of Danzo's people, but he is not solely one of Danzo's people. In a sense, he can be seen as a third-party force that depends on Danzo.

Zhiyi left the training department and returned to the Aburame tribe's territory, where he went straight to visit Aburame Zhiwei.

"Clan leader, the Hokage has established a new department called the Training Department. It's specifically for training Guyver Armor."

"Bio-regenerative armor? Was that what you tested at the testing grounds? It certainly caused quite a stir; many people have been asking me for information."

Ayano Shiki looked helpless; he genuinely didn't know.

"The Bio-Armor is essentially a type of insect that I accidentally cultivated. It can effectively provide high defense and improve the physical fitness of ninjas."

"I am a researcher of the Guyver Armor. During the discussion at the Hokage Building, I applied to the Hokage for assistance from the Aburame Clan to cultivate the Guyver Armor."

"The Hokage has agreed, therefore the Aburame clan members can enter the training department to assist in the training of the Guyver Armor."

Aburame Shiki looked slightly surprised. "Enter...the Training Department? Aburame people can enter?"

Aburame Shii was genuinely surprised. He had heard of the Bio-Armor before, and if it was true, then the Training Department would only become more and more important.

If the oil-producing women could get a share of the profits, it would be like a windfall.

Aburame Shiki's expression turned serious. "How's the Training Department doing now? How many forces have entered?"

As the head of the Aburame clan, Aburame Shiki must take responsibility and try her best to understand the power structure of the Training Department.

"Currently, the training department is divided into five training bases. I am temporarily in charge of Base 1, Taro Shimura is in charge of Base 2 and 3, and Yasushi Sarutobi is in charge of Base 4 and 5."

"We have no hope of managing the management team. The Hokage and Danzo will send people to manage the team directly. The Aburame clan can only send clan members to do the most basic training work."

"This is the best I can do as a researcher of the Guyver Armor."

"You should know that advisors Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado have both been ousted."
